r i •iii'Vt••It is only the modem artists who seem to neglect the troth in their portrayal of animal life, Mid Prof. Muybridge this morning. In Rosa Bonheur’s ‘The Ploughing,’ oniv one of the six oxen are given in a natural position. The old A Syrian and Egyptian artists were true to nature. Of course I believe in the scope of an artist within the realm of fancy, but it is a good thing to understand nature.The local lithographic firms, H. F. Faruy and T. T. Oat) have purchased the professor’s valuable work, and the Mercantile library may secure one for reference. The professor's subscription book is a grand collection of valued autographs. On one page alone the names of W. T. Sherman, U, B. Grant, Gen. Crook and Rutherford I). Hayes appear. The professor is a tall man whoaa shaggy eye brows, shocky hair and long beard have been silvered by Father Time. He does not ask compensation for his lectures, and be tells of a queer experience he had in Boston. James Russell Lowell asked him what ha would charge for four lectures delivered before the Lowell Institute, lie made his usual reply that he asked nothlng—they were all aeliyerea for the cause.“Well, sir,replied Mr. Lowell, “we give $500 for four lectures, but, of course, if you do not like the institute terms we will have to forego the pleasure of hearing you.”He didn't let that $500 stand in' the way, and Lowell Institute enjoyed a treat.
